18170 Pyrospessartite Garnet C.C., Dk Blue/Intense Magenta, 1.41 cts cushion cut
measuring 6.4x4.5x4.1 mm, lt incl, from Tanzania. We offered this gem awhile back and
sold it to a customer in California who could not see the color change because lighting
regulations no longer allow incandescent lighting. We still feel it displays one of the
strongest color changes we have seen in a garnet and the blue daylight color is very
unusual for a garnet. Priced at $800/carat or $1,128.00/gem (On Reserve)

The color change is quite strong in a gem that was native cut to recover as much weight as possible.Priced at $400/carat or $1,216.00/gem
